Socially Unacceptable Mary Dalton
645 words
I believe Richard Wright's story, Native Son, is
an effective narrative. Richard Wright believes in
the immorality of oppression. He seems to believe
in the equality of men ant the value of
demonstrating it in everyday actions. He used his
book as a tool to vent his frustration, at the
world that segregates negroes. His characters,

own experience of separatism. By using such a wide
range of characters, he gives the readers who are
not blacks exper...

themselves, wishing someone or something would

... the big, awful eruptions in life discussed

decisions. Shakespeare uses the motif of madness
to aid in this message. Anger and insanity are
coupled to illustrate the theme, and they both
cloud the judgment of characters in various ways.
A contrast between actual insanity and fabricated
madness aids in the ...

Verbal Abuse Time Period
